Commissioning Management Systems - AbsoluteAstronomy.com

Commissioning can be defined as the process of assuring that all systems and components of a building or industrial plant are designed, installed, tested, operated, and maintained according to the operational requirements of the owner or final client.

For large projects, this process usually comprises planning, execution, and control of hundrends of thousands of inspection and test activities on “commissionable objects”, such as instruments, equipments, skids

, loops, subsystems, and systems. In this case , the large volume and complexity of commissioning data, and the need to guarantee information traceability normally require the use of powerful IT tools, known as commissioning management Systems, to allow effective planning and monitoring of commissioning activities, as well as logging of all evidences necessary to the process.
